Update!The water has stopped for now. It finally quit coming in about 1:30 a.m. & has been fine today except for a couple of little drips. We've always had problems with this part of our basement & we thought for sure we had it fixed this time. We called the guys that had put our new window well & patio in so they came over to see what was going on. Once it dries up enough they are going to put a sealant all around the foundation where the patio is & hope this does the trick. The weird part is is that we had taken out the window a few years ago that gave us all the trouble, it is cemented up & now more cement with the patio & the water still manages to come through the wall somehow! It gets wet but doesn't make the puddles what makes the puddles are the bolts that used to hold the window well & there is just enough of an opening where the water can trickle through. Those will also be sealed up when they fix the outside. I also found water dripping down our chimney onto my tubs of fabric but at least they kept the water out. I think someone is trying to tell us our house is just one big drip!! Our sump pump is running pretty often now so we know it's definitely wet out there. Thank you all for your concerns & I will keep you posted.
